Liberal arts? My philosophy degree prepared me for my software engineer job in today’s world better than any hard science.
Set theory, formal logic, foundations of mathematics, I mean it’s not unrelated.

My advanced logic professor has us writing programs in Turing Machine 4 dot tape syntax that my poor TAs had to read. They had to actually step through the program to see if it succeeded since there were multiple possible successful solutions.
